Chapter 93: Proposal


    Edward frowned when he saw the delirious look on Eric''s face. It was clear he wouldn''t budge, so he


    got a few people to take him to Cameron''s ce.


    "Perhaps Cameron will cough blood in anger when he finds out. No matter how much effort he


    expended in trying to help Eric, it simply wasn''t enough," Edward thought.


    Meanwhile, at the Wilson''s main estate. Cameron was surprised to see his son being escorted home.


    Just what was going on?


    "Dad! Edward has taken over thepany! He also stripped my power and banned me from entering


    thepany!" Eric said in a hurry as though this was his lifeline.


    Cameron''s heart ached when he saw how distraught Eric was. His eyes were red with tears, and he


    looked like a mess.


    From Eric''s intermittent wails, Cameron slowly found out what had happened. He didn''t expect Edward


    would actually have such a trick up his sleeve. He regretted not attending the meeting with his son.


    What a careless mistake he had made.


    "That unfilial son!" Cameron yelled in exasperation.


    "We underestimated him. I didn''t expect Mum to own 15% of thepany''s shares. Just what sort of


    spell did Edward cast on her? I don''t see why she would favour him over you," Cameron said.


    He regretted not being at thepany meeting to argue with Edward.


    "Dad, you have to help me. Please! I am the rightful heir!" Eric yelled crazily.

    "Don''t worry, Eric. I will definitely help you get thepany back," Cameron said in reassurance. His


    fury zed against Edward when he saw Eric in such a sorry state. They were brothers! How could


    Edward treat his brother like this!


    Yet Eric hadn''t considered their bond as siblings when he plotted against Edward.


    If only Eric wasn''t such a greedy mongrel who coveted what wasn''t his, he might still have a ce


    within thepany. After all, Edward wasn''t a narrow-minded person like he was.


    Cameron rushed to thepany to argue with Edward.


    Edward had expected his father''s arrival. Eric was his favourite son—of course, he would show up.


    Moreover, they had suffered a huge loss, so he would definitely try to stir up trouble.


    "You unfilial son!" Cameron yelled. He pushed the door open and stormed into the room. His hand was


    raised in an attempt to p Edward.


    But how could Edward allow himself to be pped? He grabbed Cameron''s hand and pushed him back


    with great force.


    Cameron staggered, almost losing his bnce. He stared at Edward and shouted, "How dare you treat


    your father like this?"


    "Do you know what sort of father you are?" Edward asked coldly.


    "I beseech you! You must return the president''s position to your brother! Do it immediately!" Cameron


    yelled. He didn''t understand what Edward meant with his question, but he was very confident.


    Edward found it quite amusing that Cameron would still have the courage to implore him.


    "Return it? I am the firstborn son, the rightful heir to thispany. How can I return it? My mother only


    gave birth to me. Why do I even have a brother?"


    Hearing this, Cameron''s blood pressure almost spiked in anger.


    "You unfilial son! You!"


    Edward didn''t want to waste his time talking to Cameron. Over the years, he had slowly cast aside his


    longing for his father''s attention. Moreover, the only son that Cameron cared about was Eric. Did he not


    consider Edward as his son?


    Hence, the person standing before him was only a stranger despite sharing the same blood.


    "You have two options to choose from. First, you are to take Eric with you and leave the country, never


    to return. Your finances will be taken care of by me. The condition to selecting this option is that you


    must hand over your shares to me."


    "The second option—Neither of you nor Eric will in peace in this city ever again," Edward said calmly.


    Cameron began to panic at his words.


    "H-Hey! I am still your father. You can''t do this to me."


    "Father? Have you ever taken any responsibility towards me? When you helped Eric plot against me,


    did you ever consider yourself my father?" Edward sneered.


    "Choose!"


    It would be disastrous for him if Eric was left in this country. He was the type to return and sabotage


    whenever he could.


    Although he wasn''t afraid of Eric, it was annoying to deal with such a menace. It was better to send him


    abroad once and for all. That way, he would have no opportunity to stir up trouble.


    Edward remembered how he had pretended to have feelings for Irene, and the time he had used


    Celine to cause a misunderstanding. He was beyond disgusted with his actions, likening it to having


    swallowed a fly.


    Edward had reassumed his position as the president swiftly. He also fired a great number of unloyal


    staff aggressively.


    It shocked all who witnessed it. They expressed their grievances as they watched how Edward made


    them leave one after another.


    No matter what the public opinion was, they got to witness the extent of his authority.


    Celine was quite anxious as she watched Eric''s downfall.


    Just a few days ago, she was cheering for Eric''s victory. After all, she was pregnant with his child.


    Perhaps she could be Mrs. Wilson in the future. That way, she could make Edward regret not


    marrying her. That was her dream.


    Yet now, her fantasies were shattered. She knew Edward would definitely hold her ountable for her


    actions, and she shivered in fear.


    ...


    After he arrived home, Edwardy on the sofa and massaged his forehead. Finally, everything had


    been taken care of. Now, he could focus on nning a grand wedding for Irene.


    Irene heard about the scene Cameron had caused in thepany. She was very worried about


    Edward. What sort of father was he? He clearly biased Eric so much.


    Irene walked up to him and massaged his shoulders gently.


    Edward grabbed Irene''s hand and said wearily, "Irene, I will give Cameron a bunch of money and let


    him go abroad with Eric. They won''t interrupt with our life again."


    "I''m really disappointed in him. After all these years, not once has he ever fulfilled his duty as a father


    to me. Eric is his favourite son after all."


    Irene looked at her husband. He was tall, handsome, and nobody could everpare with his looks.


    Despite all that, he had such a gentle and fragile side to him. Even though he said that, he may hope


    his father can pay some attention to him.


    "Darling, he chose to go down this path. You''ve done a great job, Edward. Don''t worry, you still have


    your grandmother, mother, Charlotte and me. We''ll be very happy in the future," Irene said gently.


    Edward began to picture a happy family life as he listened to Irene.


    Edward grabbed Irene''s hand, determined to never let her go.


    Due to the disturbance caused by the presidential change in the Wilson Group coupled with Edward''s


    bold actions, rumours began to spread. Those rumours had a certain impact on the development of the


    Edward decided to hold a press conference to announce something important.


    "Irene, there will be a press conference in a few days. Let''s attend it together," said Edward.


    "You want me toe along? Why?" Irene asked in confusion.


    "As the wife of the president, shouldn''t you be present? I mean, you should make it well known to all.


    Just in case some other person dares to try seducing me," Edward said with a smile.


    "You''d dare to cheat on me?" Irene asked with her eyebrows raised.


    "No, no! Of course not!" Edward replied. He raised his hands in surrender.


    Irene felt amused when she looked at the expression on his face.


    ...


    When both of them showed up together for the press conference, they dazzled everyone. Edward was


    handsome, and Irene was beautiful. What a pleasingbination!


    Everyone was whispering. Some of the people in attendance didn''t know who Irene was. After all,


    Edward rarely brought her along to attend such public asions.


    Many people looked at Irene curiously, trying to figure out who she was. There were rumours that Mr.


    Wilson didn''t get along well with his wife. Was she a new me? She must be amazing if he was willing


    to bring her along.


    Some of the crowd decided to butter up to her after the press conference. That way, it would allow


    them to give him a good impression.


    Irene didn''t know that some people thought she was Edward''s new me.


    "I''d like to thank all of you for attending this press conference. My father had prepared a test for me by


    changing the president of thepany. I have passed the test and I''m now in charge of taking over the


    group. I have great hopes for thepany, hence I have reformed the structure of thepany


    slightly."


    Everyone present was well aware that it was just a formality. It wasmon for siblings to plot against


    each other if they came from wealthy families. Now that Edward had emerged as the victor, who dared


    to oppose him? His word was pretty muchw.


    "From today onwards, we..."


    Edward made his announcement on the stage. Irene noticed that many women looked at her brilliant


    husband in awe. She didn''t know how she felt about that.


    Lost in her thoughts, Irene didn''t notice that the person on the stage was walking towards her seat.


    Everyone wondered what Edward was up to.


    Edward walked to Irene before getting down on one knee, saying, "Irene, with all my heart, I love you.


    Will you marry me?" He presented a diamond ring to her after he asked.


    Irene was stunned. W-What was going on?


    The audience burst into an uproar. As it turned out, the site for the press conference had be the


    site of his proposal.


    The crowd finally knew her name. However, some of them were confused. Wasn''t he married? Did he


    get a divorce? Moreover, he had married the daughter of the Jones family, Irene. Was she the same


    person?


    Irene looked at the man kneeling before her and sighed emotionally. Edward was really diligent! He


    actually chose to propose to her at the press conference!
